Olympic Peninsula Guide Service, run by Nicholas Hendrickson, offers year-round trophy steelhead and salmon fishing on the rivers of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, based out of Forks. The business fishes the Sol Duc, Calawah, Bogachiel, Quillayute, and Hoh Rivers, giving anglers access to some of the most storied steelhead water in the country throughout the year.

Trips target steelhead, coho, king salmon, bull trout, and cutthroat trout depending on the season, with a year-round calendar built around the peninsula’s overlapping runs rather than a single narrow window. The business operates three boats, described as some of the largest and most comfortable drift boats and rafts on the Olympic Peninsula, and has built a strong local reputation reflected in over 100 five-star Google reviews.

Full-day trips run seven hours of fully guided river fishing and are priced per boat: $700 for up to two anglers, $1,050 for three anglers, or $1,400 for four anglers. Half-day trips, available June through August only, run $600 for up to two anglers, $750 for three anglers, or $1,000 for four anglers. Special Friday, Saturday, and Sunday October rates run $800 for up to two anglers or $1,200 for three. Every trip includes all fishing equipment, rods, reels, and gear, though guests are welcome to bring their own if preferred, along with a turn-around at the end of the day.

Guests need to bring their own freshwater fishing license and catch record card, rain gear, waders or warm footwear, snacks and beverages, sunglasses, and a camera. The business maintains an active presence across Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, sharing fishing reports and trip updates throughout the season.

For anglers looking to fish trophy steelhead and salmon across the Olympic Peninsula’s premier rivers with a well-equipped, highly reviewed local guide service, Olympic Peninsula Guide Service offers full-day and seasonal half-day trips out of Forks, Washington.
